Feb Sydney Meetup

UPDATE 2 presentations confirmed. See more below.

Every body seems to know about this, but I almost forgot to announce it.

This month we'll have two short presentations and then we'll focus time on determining what people want to learn over the rest of the year and plan out some presentations like we did last year. So, if you want to make sure your topic gets covered, now is the best time to come!

As usual,
When: Thursday, Feb 17th
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:30pm for firm 7pm start!!)
Venue: ABC Centre 700 Harris Street, Ultimo ( Map | Directions )

Venue Details

The ABC Centre has some security issues, so it is important that people arrive early and sign in at the security desk so that we can take everyone into the building at once. Everyone just waits and chats in the lobby, so just look around for us if you're new. If you have problems you can call either of us. Many thanks go to the ABC for providing this venue.

Parking is possible at parking meters around Thomas street and Mary-Anne street. But they take a 2 hour max i think. There are carparks behind the ABC $15 (enter from Thomas street, but on the Chinatown side). Also, you can get all-evening parking at the Citigate (I think that's the name) parking station for (updated) $10 (starting after 5pm, I think, and stays open until well after midnight). It's at the end of the Thomas street dead end (Eastern/Chinatown side), which is very close to the ABC's back entrance.

Agenda:

• Greetings and Welcome new people + Announcements
• Presentation: Integrating with Node.js by: Justin Randall
  A demo of how Drupal and Node.js can work together.
• Presentation: Playing with Canvas by: Geoffrey Roberts
  A short intro to using Canvas as part of HTML5
• Planning Session (Ryan Cross to facilitate)
  We will brainstorm ideas for the meetups over the rest of the year. Don't Miss it!
• Continued at the pub with + Drinks/food

Remember to sign up. This will also help us plan numbers/audience.

Post below if you can talk about something (anything is ok, everyone has something to share) or if you're are interested in other topics for discussion.
